Jamie Carragher reckons that Roberto De Zerbi ‘must be the favourite’ to now land the Liverpool manager’s job.

It is reported that the Reds are unlikely to appoint Ruben Amorim as Jurgen Klopp’s successor in the Anfield hot seat at the end of the season. Amorim had been regarded as the frontrunner but The Athletic suggests the 39-year-old is not Liverpool’s preferred choice and West Ham have been in talks.

After it was revealed that Klopp would leave at the end of the season, Brighton supremo De Zerbi was among the early contenders. Kop legend Carragher believes that incoming sporting director Richard Hughes will want De Zerbi at the helm, having tried to appoint him while in his post at Bournemouth.

Carragher posted on X (formerly Twitter: “Richard Hughes wanted De Zerbi at Bournemouth, so he must be the favourite if this is true.”
